hello, i'm trying to find the pager tone-outs for fulton county for my xtl5000 im trying to program as a pager for home when i dont have my minitor on me.
I really don't want to bother the higher ups for them since they'll tell me to buy an apx and let them program it. i tried to look all over the front page on RR for the county but cant find them. am i just blind or is there no listing for them?

the tone-outs i mostly need is: lewistown fire & rescue
: cuba fire & rescue : buckheart fire & rescue
: F.C.E.M.A
: copperas creek fire & rescue
: ipava and astoria fire & rescue
: and canton fire & rescue

If you have a Uniden scanner with the Fire Toneout feature (BCT15, 996, 436/536, SDS or others) you can use it to find the tones or as an alert receiver rather than tie up an expensive Motorola.

If all the tones you want are in your pager get a programming cradle for the pager and read it

now from what i can tell, the minitor 6 doesn't have the ability to be password protected. is that correct? i dont want to buy an expensive cradle just for it to not work.

You can also use phone apps like RadioID to identify the tones (there are also others)

When any of the tones are know or found, they can be added to the wiki. If you don't know how to do that, let us know and we (I) can add them to the WIKI

yeah, I know of several applications that can emulate qc2 that I have messed around with but not as Mutch to get acquainted. and I think I can use a few SDR applications for decoding too. my anytone at-5888uv does do 2-tone encode & decode so maybe I can also use it on like MURS or FRS and monitoring the dispatch frequencies to see if it will alert to it.

I would be happy to add to the wiki for the county and maybe the surrounding counties too. I'll let you know if im having trouble editing the wiki.
